Indiana’s Domantas Sabonis has “a significant foot injury and will leave the Orlando bubble to seek treatment from a specialist”, according to a tweet by Adrian Wojnarowski.

If Sabonis can’t be on the court, the blow can be huge for the Indiana Pacers. The Lithuanian big man made his first All-Star team this season and averaged 18.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5 assists.

Sabonis hadn’t participated in practices in about eight days and sat out the Pacers‘ scrimmage on Thursday.

Speaking to local media Wednesday, he said his foot had been bothering him since he arrived in Indiana, and it flared up once the team started playing 5-on-5 upon arriving in Orlando. Nate McMillan called it “day to day.”
